I have a single Illustrator file that's about 5GB big. It's a composite of hundreds of 2-5 megapixel camera images that we imported over time.

The file will not open on my computer anymore and I cannot perform any functions on it. Is there a way to salvage the file? I would happy to "shrink" all the raster images and the whole canvas size down, but I don't know how to do that w/out being able to open the file in Illustrator!

If you have it, open InDesign and create a blank document with page dimensions matching your Illustrator file. Change your display performance to "fast display" before placing the image into your layout. Export the result as a PDF. This should process faster than simply opening the file directly in Acrobat.

Open it (as a .pdf) in Adobe Acrobat (if you left on the option to save as .pdf compatible in AI).

Advanced | Document Processing | Export all Images

(that command may be in a different location depending on version)
